    Quick Project Steps

    The Mixed Media Maui bracelet combines the amazing look of the original, Maui Beach Bracelet with new techniques and materials. Learn to create your own metal spacer beads using 24 gauge wire and round nose pliers. After the bracelet is completed, add more knotting cords to create an adjustable slip knot design. 1. Cut 12" of 24 gauge wire and pick up your round nose pliers. Hold the very end of the wire between the jaws of the pliers and begin to wrap the wire up the shaft of the bottom jaw of the pliers by turning your wrist. 2. After finishing your metal coiled spacer beads, cut 4 equal parts of knotting cord in 12-14 inch sections. Watch the Mixed Media Maui Bracelet Design video to see how to add beads onto your cord as well as knot the ends and make the lengths equal. 3. After tying all of the cord ends together, add the additional piece of cord and tie it around the other ends to create a split knot using a square knot. Once you are done with the square stitch burn off the ends of the design to finish off the bracelet. Vintage Lucite flower beads highlight the flow and movement of these lightweight statement earrings. Adjust the length of chain, size of beads, and colors to make more of these new summer earrings.
